I. Milk and Soy Milk
These two foods contain a large amount of protein. When consumed on an empty stomach, the protein is "forced" to be converted into energy and burned off, failing to provide nutritional benefits. The correct way to consume them is to eat them with foods containing flour, such as snacks or flatbreads, or to drink them two hours after a meal, or before bedtime.
II. Yogurt
Drinking yogurt on an empty stomach can diminish its health benefits. However, drinking it two hours after a meal or before bedtime can provide nourishment, health benefits, aid digestion, and help relieve gas and promote bowel movements.

III. Liquor
Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach can irritate the gastric mucosa, and over time, may easily lead to gastritis, gastric ulcers, and other diseases. Furthermore, when a person's stomach is empty, their blood sugar is already low. Drinking alcohol at this time can quickly lead to hypoglycemia, and the brain may suffer from functional impairment due to a lack of glucose supply, resulting in dizziness, palpitations, cold sweats, and hunger. In severe cases, hypoglycemic coma may occur.
IV. Tea
Drinking tea on an empty stomach can dilute gastric juices, reduce digestive function, and also cause "tea drunkenness," characterized by symptoms like heart palpitations, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, and unsteady standing.
V. Sugar
Sugar is a food that is very easily digested and absorbed. Eating a large amount of sugar on an empty stomach can cause the body to secrete insufficient insulin in a short period to maintain normal blood sugar levels. This can cause a sharp rise in blood sugar, which may easily lead to eye diseases. Moreover, sugar is an acidic food, and eating it on an empty stomach can disrupt the body's acid-base balance and the balance of various microorganisms, which is detrimental to health.
